Gilmore v. First Premiere Bank, First Bank & Trust, Palisades Collection, LLC; and NCO Financial Systems, Inc.

Alabama customer filed for bankruptcy and discharged a debt that the junk debt buyer Palisades purchased; a debt NCO (large national collection agency) was collecting; a credit card that First Premiere Bank had issued to consumer; and a debt to First Bank & Trust. The discharge means that the consumer does not owe these debts but all four of these companies kept false information on the credit reports instead of showing the debts as "discharged in bankruptcy" with a zero balance. Suit was filed for violations of Alabama state law (defamation, invasion of privacy, wantonness, intentional conduct, and malice) and for NCO and Palisades violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
